Fight the Covid 19 Virtual Run

Sat March 28 - Sun May 31 Everywhere, WA 98020 US

About the COVID-19 Response Fund
Housed at Seattle Foundation, the Fund makes grants to nonprofits that are working on the frontlines to provide our region’s most vulnerable communities with emergency assistance, such as financial support, healthcare, and childcare.

The first round of grants is prioritizing the communities listed below, all of whom are particularly impacted by this crisis.

Low-income residents, including those without health insurance and/or access to sick days 
Low-income workers in disproportionally impacted industries, such as healthcare and the service industry, as well as gig-economy workers 
Residents with greater health risks, including people over age 60, people with compromised immune systems, and pregnant people 
Residents with limited English language proficiency 
Communities of color 
People with disabilities 
People experiencing homelessness
Undocumented workers and families
People at risk of intimate violence


Formed by a coalition of philanthropy, government, and business partners, the COVID-19 Response Fund so far has galvanized a total of $15.7 million from a growing list of partners and online contributors. The Fund complements the work of public health officials and expands local capacity to address the many needs created by the coronavirus crisis.

In order to move resources quickly without further burdening organizations providing critical services and support, we are not hosting a formal application process at this time. Seattle Foundation is administering grants from the Fund in partnership with United Way of King County, King County’s Pandemic Community Advisory Group, and Fund partners.

Grants are made on a rolling basis. As fundraising continues through the outbreak and recovery phases of the crisis, the Fund will adapt to emerging needs as the situation evolves. An initial round of grants will be made the week of March 22, and those grants will be posted here once they are announced.
